    Food Deserts with Taylor Jennings

    Food Deserts are an area inside of a community where fresh foods and or grocery stores are not available. These areas are in rural and urban low-income  areas. The main sources of food within food deserts or food insecure communities rely on the inventory of small convenient stores, gas stations, and fast food restaurants. This is unfortunate, however there are economic obligations that do not permit large chain grocery stores to be built in lower income areas. Issues of income, crime, and lifestyle may contribute to the success or lack of success with a large chain store. In my paper I go more in depth on the socio-economic issues that surrounds the reasoning behind what makes sense financially for certain communities. The issues that circle around food deserts are nutrition related health concerns like childhood and adulthood obesity and type -2 diabetes. Several organizations have been created with the intent to solve this issue. At the end I proposed a non-profit that recognized the obstacles and shortcomings in previous organizations, focusing on culture, preference, and lifestyle.

    Nature-Based Tourism Pollution with Hannah Merrill

    Nature-based tourism is a phenomena that has been gaining speed in recent years. We have more access to traveling than we ever have before, and it may be having a negative impact on the natural environment. This podcast will explore a few of the National Parks and their efforts to combat tourism related pollution while also discussing a few relatively easy and inexpensive possible studies that can be done in the park. These two studies include air quality assessments and trail degradation studies.

    This podcast outlines the various methods in which marine biologists have come to study the ecology of migratory pelagic fish. It seeks to highlight past studies of yellowfin tuna in the Gulf of California, and places a special interest on the marine research methods in which scientists are able to study highly migratory pelagic species. In the end it speaks to the importance of knowledge when it comes to the creation and support of marine management and conservation techniques. Although, tuna may not be directly important to everyone, it is important we are informed on a variety of ecological issues as we seek to be wise, and environmentally conscious decision makers for the good of the ocean and earth.

    STEM in the US with Jared Wilson

    Having advancements in the sciences is vital to the ability to react to global issues. The US school system produces fewer Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) students than other industrialized countries such as China, India, and the European Union, meaning that our reaction to global problems may be impaired as fewer and fewer STEM students enter the field. To increase the amount of students pursuing STEM careers, I propose an increase in a number of factors, coming down to simply pushing students to take higher level courses and get real-world experience through mentorships, apprenticeships and scientific projects.
